Mars Volta - Things Behind The Sun lyrics

[Originally by Nick Drake]<br />

<br />

[Chorus:]<br />

Please beware of them that stare<br />

They'll only smile to see you while your time away<br />

And once you've seen what they have been<br />

To win the earth just won't seem worth your night or your day<br />

Who'll hear what I say?<br />

<br />

Look around you find the ground is not so far from where you are<br />

Don't too wise<br />

For down below they never grow<br />

They're always tired and charms are hired from out of their eyes<br />

Never surprise<br />

<br />

Take your time and you'll be fine<br />

And say a prayer for people there who live on the floor<br />

And if you see what's meant to be<br />

Don't name the day or try to say it happened before<br />

<br />

Don't be shy, you learn to fly<br />

And see the sun when day is done if only you see<br />

Just what you are beneath a star<br />

That came to stay one rainy day in autumn for free<br />

Yes be what you'll be<br />

<br />

[Chorus]<br />

<br />

Open up the broken cup<br />

Let goodly sin and sunshine in<br />

Yes that's today<br />

And open wide the hymns you hide<br />

You find renown while people frown<br />

At things that you say<br />

But say what you'll say<br />

About the farmers and the fun<br />

And the things behind the sun<br />

And the people round your head<br />

Who say everything's been said<br />

And the movement in your brain<br />

Sends you out into the rain
